In n Wreck on the Louisville and NASH
vile Road Near Birmingham.
BmMisGHAM, ALA, June 1.-TWO freight
trains ON the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad collided about / o'clock this
morning four miles below Calera and
thirty seven miles from the city. En-
ginecr Howard Rowe, Fireman Tom Bur-
ton and negro tramp were killed
and several brakcmcn and two other
tramps were injured, some of them
very seriously. The trains were rum
ming at the rate OF twenty-five miles
an hour when they came together. Both
engines and about fifteen cars are la total
wreck. The bodies OF the dead engineer
and fireman were recovered and brought
TO this city late this afternoon. Engineer
Rowe was unmarried, but has q mother
and sisters living ut Cleveland, Tenn.
The accident was caused by the watch Of
Engineer Murphy, on tho north-bound
train, being one hour slow. The conduc-
tor OF that train, whose watch was right,
II is said was asleep in the caboose. En-
gineer Murphy and his fireman escaped by
humping.

daur. turning his head leisurely, saw Han
lan,s head over his right shoulder. This
was at the end of the second mile. Gau-
daur gained steadily up To within half
mile of the finish, and did so witho ut ap.
parent effort. Here Hanlan spurted From
four lengths behind he crawled up
to within two. Gaudaur took in the situa'
tion. bent his chin little nearer his knees,
stretched out his long arms, and Han
lan's spurt counted for naught. Gaudaur
was almost at the finish when he observed
that he was pointing for the line outside
OF the buoy, which would have disqual-
lied him. He had barely room to
change his course, and in doing so
was obliged TO be satisfied with a
finish two lengths in advance. The
close finish was observed with consider
able enthusiasm, and by many it was
thought TO be due wholly to second squirt
by Hanlan.
Seen in his dressing room five minutes
after the finish Hanlan looked none the
worse for his struggle But he was not in
a happy frame of mind, though apparently
calm and resigned. 81 was beaten fairly"
he said, sbut l don't think the best man
won.n
Unoficial timers made the time 1890
The official timer, Lyman B. Glover, stopped
his watch at 20:29 This undoubtedly
was the correct time. AT the conclusion Of
the race some of Hanlan's friends asserted
their belief that with three weeks more
work he could beat Gaudaur. The friends
Of the latter are not only positive that he
can beat Hanlan aud give the latter any
amount OF time to At himself, but express
anxiety TO match their man against any
sculler in the world for from &, 500 to Sl0.-
900 side
The champion, Jacob Gill Gaudaur, was
born at Orillia, Ont, about forty miles
north Of Toronto, April 4, 1858. His first
experience in she'll was in 1873. The fol-
lowing year he finished third in the regatta
won by Wallace Ross In 1882 he removed
to st. Louis. There he attracted the
attention OF Mr.. ]. A. st. John,
one of the most enthusiastic patrons
of sculling in the country, who
secured him tirst-class boats and en-
ablcd him to take proper training. His
performance at the Pullman regatta OF
1883 in which he was third TO Hanlan aud
Teemer, attracted marked attention. Since
then he has probably taken better care Of
himself than any athlete In the world, and
his progress has been steady and
brilliant At Pullman June IL of last
year he defeated Teemer for the Amer
lean championship. Two months later
he went to England to meet William
Beach, Of Australia, for the championship
OF the world. They rowcd on the Thames
course, from Putncy to Mortake, Septem'
Der 20, and Beach won by two lengths
after the hardest struggle that ever took
place in u single scull contest While he
was in England the match decided ycster-
day was nude for him by Dick Roche, OF

OHIO TOWN FLOODED.
bsidged by 4 bursting Oloud-considsr-
able Damage the Result.

OBERLIN, o., June 5.-Shortly after no6n
rain began TO pour downin torrents, ,contin-
uing without cessation until after four
o'clock. Long before this Plumb creek had
risen TO an alarming extent. The fre-bell
was rung calling for help in the flooded
region, and soon nearly the whole town
was aroused, Water cut of communication
between the parts Of tho town separated
by the flood. The water carried
away nearly all of the town
bridges, and rose several feet above the
floor in dozens OF houses on Professor,
Mill Main and Pleasant streets. Many
people were compelled TO take refuge in
the top stories of their houses. DIR. Bunce's
office was loosened from its underpinning
and floated several feet. The gas-works
were covered largely with water, and con-
siderable damage was done. Gilchrist's
lumber yard and planing-mill suffer-
ed great damage, lumber floating
in all directions, and large logs from
Swifts lumber-yard foated, jamming
against buildings on all sides. The trout
OF the carriage works was completely
blockaded by lumber logs and refuse.
Nearly all the houses in this region suf,
fered much damage in respect to furni-
ture especially. From tho corner Of Elm
and Professor streets, looking toward tho
depot, there was nothing visible but
water for nearly two blocks. The trains
are blocked up and the three O'Clock train
was compelled to go back. About three
hundred yards of track was washed away.
Nearly all the cellars of the stores are
flooded, causing thousands OF dollars
worth of damage. Thad Rowland's
blooded horses on Mill street We're saved
with great difficulty. The water is
now slowly subsiding and it will soon
be possible to tell the exact damage.
Some dealers declare the cause Of the
flood to be the bursting of cloud. The
terrible lightning accompanying the storm
did much damage in this vicinity. The
loss will probably reach $4,000. About
fifty houses were flooded, beginning with
MIR. Decker's house on Morgan street and
making clean sweep the entire course OF
the creek
